Blackworms work once the hatchings are big enough. It is hard to chop blackworms finely enough for newly hatched hatchlings, but I know a local breeder who does.
You can get blackworms at Worms Are Here!
=> Note: Blackworms require refrigeration and as much care (if not more) as the hatchlings. To keep them healthy (and not stinky), I do twice daily water changes for the worms, with chilled water. (Some people have reported success keeping them in an aquarium at room temperature - I may try that this time.)
For newly hatched hatchings, the most common successful food is freshly hatched (baby) brine shrimp, a.k.a. bbs. If you have a daphnia culture, that works too.
